“Russian tourists asked to use the pool at the hotel, which was closed ... On Friday, I cleaned it with chlorine so that they could use it,” the portal quotes one of the hotel employees.

As specified, the police suspected that too much chlorine could lead to poisoning.

The publication does not provide official data.

According to Albanian media, the bodies of four Russians were found in a hotel sauna in the village of Kerret, Kavaya district.

Presumably they died of suffocation.

The Russian embassy confirmed the incident.

They expressed hope for a thorough investigation by the Albanian side of the causes of death of the Russians.
